Brake pads EBC or GALFER

I drove pretty damn hard all 3 sessions in the novice group passing all kind of faster cars that I didn’t expect to. I had minimal brake fade and a light pulsation developing later in the session after long straights but never came close to an “oh shit” moment. I was pleasantly surprised the next day when I inspected the brakes and found the pads around 2/32nds and the rotors well above minimum spec. I expected to go metal to metal before the end of the day.

Galfer pads and rotors. I'm 210lb and can confidently slow down with rival flat mounts and 160mm rotors

Fresh front brakes, Zimmerman blanks with EBC Bluestuff, hopefully these do better than the yellows.

I've been happy with my EBC pads

I am currently running EBC Yellowstuffs that i installed last winter and i have now gone 10k km and they have 2-3mm of pad left on the front. I really really like their performance and don’t really mind the wear.

Big fan of ebc, run red stuff pads on any of my vehicles that they are made for.

Brakes the pads are cheap enough with EBC yellow around 150$ am axle.

I’ve been using EBC Yellowstuff on my mk7 gti for track days and daily driving. My first front set lasted 2.7 days (basically dissolving in my last run on one side). However, I’ve thought brake feel is good and I’ve now run a new set on new rotors for 4 track days. They look fine?

Not a fan of EBC, had yellow and blew through them in one track session.

Even at Gingerman, which is much, much easier on brakes than Road America, the "upgrade" was a disaster. Ok, I admit to not bedding the new pads enough before the track day. That probably contributed to their absolute crap performance.
